Ghana will play either Zambia in the Cosafa Cup Plate section on Wednesday after the Local Black Stars were stunned by Madagascar in the quarter-final.

The Local Black Stars Bafana exited at the first hurdle of the competition via a late goal following after the 2-1 defeat at Moruleng Stadium in Rustenburg.

Following on from exits for defending champions Zambia and hosts South Africa on Sunday, it was another major surprise at the tournament, as Madagascar defeated Ghana 2-1 to reach the semi-final.

This leaves Ghana with the only option of playing their arch-rivals Zambia in the Plate semi-final on Wednesday.

Following shocks in the tournament so far, Namibia will take on Madagascar in Thursday’s first semifinal, followed by Botswana against Mozambique.

There also will be a new champion in 2015 with none of the competition’s previous winners – Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa or Angola having made it to the semifinals.

The Plate semifinals will be played first on Wednesday though and there Zambia will tackle Ghana in a colossal tie, while South Africa meet Malawi.
